NIS

This didn't work exactly but... I followed the following sequence to connect to the NIS server:

1. sudo apt-get install nis
entered cs.haverford.edu as the domain

2. initialize the NIS database via:
cd /var/yp
sudo make

3. restart NIS via:
sudo /etc/init.d/nis restart

On moe just to be sure everything was right I did a
cd /var/yp
make
to push maps from master server

back on the client machine I did a ypwhich and it correctly declared: "moe.cs.haverford.edu"


Still when I try to log into the names after a system reboot, I can not log into the server. I'll keep trying...


I first used this page and then I finished with this other one which was very helpful.
